If you watch the included video from CBS Sunday Morning, you will see Ph.D. Metcalf; Executive Secretary of the American Dialect Society talking about the word "ok". That's what you'll see.

What I see is Dr. Metcalf. The advisor for "The Daily Other". The newspaper where "Scope" was born. While I never actually had Dr. Metcalf as a professor in any of my classes, 25+ years after I graduated, he still remembers my name. I also see the reference room in the Henry Pfeiffer Library. A room I spent as little time in as possible. Then I see Rutledge lawn. A space where I spent as much time as possible.
